Summary

Translation:Mishnah, — Seder Kodashim…

However, the Mishnah deals only with women, probably for the reason that while sexual relations with a zavah are prohibitted, they are permitted with a zav. For this reason, as well as for the reason that a woman becomes a niddah on a monthly basis, women need to be more concerned with their state of ritual purity than men. It was therefore more common that a woman would bring a bird-pair than a man, and the Mishnah uses the common case as its example.

Translation:Mishnah, — Seder Kodashim…

For whichever the kohen pleases, he may offer a sin-offering Rabbi Yosi teaches that when two women purchased their bird-pairs together as a mixed group, they are not considered to belong to one or the other of the women until the kohen designates them for their specific owner and sacrifice type (i.e., sin-offering or elevation-offering) . If the birds were considered to belong to a specific woman (with a doubt as to which) , the laws of the previous mishnah regarding mixed sets of bird-pairs would apply, and only some of the birds could be sacrificed (see mishnah 4) .
